Would you have your Home individual --then put yourself into it. In these days the probable cost of the house may be of as much importance as the number of rooms, their size and general arrange- ment. Before proceeding far with the plan, for a PLAN there must be, let us now choose the neighborhood in which you would like to live. We would live among friends, in a community which is a safe place for our children to grow up, where the schools are progressive, the churches home-like, and the community in general forward-looking. With the increased use of the automobile, not so much em- phasis is laid upon rapid transit, but rather is it necessary to have well paved streets and highways of adequate width leading to our door. As no two homes are ever exactly alike, so no two sites have the same characteristics, and in selecting a lot, let us choose one which is individual, with fine old trees upon it, beneath whose sheltering branches the roof-tree may nestle, and perhaps a rock outcrop- ing or a knoll or even a ravine breaking up the too level sites of this section. In general architectural character, your home and mine will fit the site, will be adapted to the climatic conditions of the section of the country ih which we are to live, and the materials of con- struction carefully selected. In view of high construction costs, permanency should be the keynote. Your home and mine will be planned about a living room--yes, about a living room fireplace, with all of the dreams which its flames conjure up for our children. Can you conceive of a gas- log, or of a radiator as a stimulus to your imagination? Whether the house shall face north, south, east or west will be a matter of personal. taste in the ection of the lot, but the views from the living-room windows shiwild he N the words of Edgar Guest, "It takes a heap o mneat the sunset-glow with its mellow light touch of beauty to even the most delightfully proportioned and fur- nished living room. Someone has said that conversation should not be attempted in the home until ten o'clock in the morning, but you can remember many happy families whose day begins as it should with the morning sun streaming into the windows of the dining room or breakfast room. If you would learn to live out of doors, and enjoy your own lot, the views onto the lot can be made so inviting, that they encourage exploration of hid- den beauties. There may be little choice among rose-gardens and sundials, or a rock-bordered pool in whose dark waters the glint of gold-fish strikes the eye, or of waterfalls, or of a modest garden house retreat.

LJ J house, easy access can be assured to the lot, with shrub and flower-bordered lawns, a small perennial garden, water .catures or other unexpected nooks care- fully arranged therein. 3 Of the service wing of the house, volumes have been written. Where the lot is small and the house faces north, the kitchen and service entrances may well be placed at the front of the house. This arrangement permits the use of the rear or garden side of the home as an out-door living room, and this room should have as much privacy as possible, with high screens of shrubs or small trees about the borders of the property. For the old-fashioned clothes-reel there should be a place, for it can be removed when its duties are over. Of the shrubs, trees and flowers we will have more to say later, for like the brick, stucco and lumber which are the materials of construction forthe home, so are these the ever-changing materials with which with vision, we are to build out out-door pictures. F. A. CUSHING SMITH. Wilmette, Feb. 24, 1924. | PROES. SELECT REAL 'GREATS Lincoln, Pasteur and Wilson Lead Replying to a question submitted by a New York newspaper as to who were the four greatest men of the last cen- tury, five out of six professors at Northwestern University selected Abra- ham Lincoln, four chose Darwin and Pasteur and two nominated Woodrow Wilson. No definition of the word "great" was made and the professors merely were asked . the question and given an hour in which to select the four men. Several of the educators re- fused on the ground that "greatness" must first be analyzed. Oné woman who is prominent on the faculty begged to be excused because the question referred only to men. "I should select at least three wom- en," she explained. President Walter Dill Scott's selec- tions were as follows: 1, Darwin; 2, Pasteur; 3, Abraham Lincoln; 4, Wood- row Wilson, Prof. Henry Crew, head of the de- partment of physics; 1, Einstein; 2, Lincoln; 3, Maxwell; 4, Pasteur. Prof. William A. Locy, professor of ~ zoology; 1, Pasteur; 2, Claude Bernard, French physiologist; 4, Gregory Mendel, experimental hered- ity. Prof. John Adams Scott, professor of Greek Language and literature: 1, Lin- coln; 2, General Booth, Salvation Army; 3, Carl Marx; 4, Charles Dar- win, Prof. Clyde Grose, associate pro- fessor of history: 1, Darwin; 2, Abra- ham Lincoln; 3, Woodrow Wilson; 4, Guglielmo Marconi. Prof. John E. Stout, head of depart- ment of religious education: 1, Lincoln: 2, Horace Mann; 3, Pasteur; 4, Glad- stone. ) Prof. Stout made his choice "tenta- tive," as he said the word "great" is so susceptible of many constructions that he hesitated to try to make a reply with- out explanation. Prof. Crew stipulated that the most interesting feature of his answer would be omitted if the reasons for his selections were not printed. Darwin; 3,' Promptness in Forwarding | Income Tax Returns Urged Banks and other offices which re- ceive income tax returns are urged to forward them immediately to the office of the Collector so that they will not be classed as delinquent by arriving too late. P~lmer Anderson, chief field deputy in the office of Collector Mabel Rein- ecke, declared yesterday that many re- turns had been held so long that they did not reach the collector last year until after March 15. : "It will save great inconvenience for us and the taxpayers if the re- turns are forwarded at once," FOREIGN TIRES IN BRITAIN Approximately 31 per cent of casings imported by Great Britain in 1923 were shipped from the United States.
